Is Melania drugged for her public appearances?

[CTyankee]

I am serious. I have seen pictures of her where she looks out of it, unsmiling, and looking like nothing much is registering with her. Occasionally, she has looked like a prisoner of war, being paraded around to show she is being treated well by her captors.

It must be a godawful existence for her. I can't help feeling pity for her.

[rzemanfl]

1. I don't pity her. She isn't in a cage, nor is her kid. n/t

[FarPoint]

2. I believe she may need to....

Drop a urine.

[RKP5637]

3. She looks like a zombie robot with a plastic face! n/t

[CTyankee]

6. I am almost certain she has had "work done" on her face...

[RKP5637]

12. So much it's probably brittle! n/t

[dhol82]

30. Ya think?

[Me.]

4. She Is & Always Has Been A Birther & A Racist

we deserve a better first lady. She costs us millions a year and what we get in return, aside from disdain, is nothing.

[JI7]

5. fuck her, she is a piece of shit racist

[CountAllVotes]

52. +1,000,000

porn wifey

[RandySF]

7. She goes running for the shelter of her Mother's Little Helper.

[lunatica]

8. I have no sympathy for her

But that’s OK because I’m sure she feels the same about me.

[CTyankee]

11. She made a bargain with the devil all right...

[Wounded Bear]

21. She sold whatever soul she had many years ago...

[Mike Nelson]

9. I saw her...

… standing there today, while Crooked Donald spoke at the desk. I though she looked uncomfortable... I bet she was wondering about lighting and camera angles. She's very much into how she looks...

I've seen a scene from a talk show where she questions President Obama's birth - I believe she would like it if he went back to Africa, so I have little sympathy for the Third Lady.

[CTyankee]

63. I think we saw the same photo. She looked so out of it I immediately thought about drugs.

Her "out of it" look was terrifying...

[HipChick]

10. Could not care less..

Gold Digger come upperance from being an Escort..

[Polly Hennessey]

13. I noticed in her last exposure

her fist was clenched; her arm was hanging at her side. She was wearing something black and white. No smile. It is as though she has no human connection with anyone.

[LiberalArkie]

37. Just another modeling gig. Always has that model pose.

[Demovictory9]

42. I noticed also. The camera kept fovusing on her showed the

News folks noticed. She was opening her mouth and closing it.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Pity her? Pity her?

Not a chance. The White House has exits.

She's in this up to her fake hairdo.

[CTyankee]

17. I cannot imagine her existence...drugged, hating her husband, just waiting to get away...

If you hate her, you are probably pleased with her being miserable. I don't excuse her at all. If anything, I think she's getting just deserts. She made a pact with this devil and is paying for it by having a soulless existence.

[TheCowsCameHome]

41. It's her Madame Tussaud look.

So dead, so lifeless, so totally fake.

[LakeArenal]

15. I pity the fake Melania

The one that has to hold his hand. Ugh.
You can guess where that hand’s been.

[Ohiogal]

26. LOL!

[Tech]

16. Save your pity, she is as much or more of a grifter as all the trumps.

She has done nothing but be flown around on that expensive plane on our dime for photo shoots. She probably thinks she looks good as a statue. May she turn to salt and disintegrate.

[Wounded Bear]

18. Botox tends to disable the smile muscles...

I don't think she can move much of her face by now.

[CTyankee]

20. That must be the reason. She doesn't look human at all.

[comradebillyboy]

60. As though God turned her in to a pillar of salt...

Long ago a man named Lot
Had a wife he thought was hot
But she could not stop her black and sinful ways
You know it was her own damn fault
When God turned that bitch to salt
That's the way he used to work back in those days

[madaboutharry]

19. Please don't feel sorry for her.

She is free to leave. She stays for the money and the privilege.

She went on Joy Behar’s talk show and went full birther. Joy was desperately trying to reason with her that President Obama’s birth certificate was real. Melania kept insisting “The people want to see the certificate.” Melania is a terrible person.

[barbtries]

22. i manage to feel no pity for her at all.

i really don't care. not about her wretched existence. nope, she's a greedy woman as feckless as her husband.

[dalton99a]

23. She just hates wearing clothes

[NightWatcher]

24. Pity her? She's a Russian honeypot agent.

[pnwmom]

25. I think the botox and fillers help keep her face so expressionless. n/t

[GoCubsGo]

27. Nah. She's probably just in her "I hate this, so I will just go to my happy place." mode.

I'm sure she has the "spacing out" thing down to a tee. I can imagine numerous situations where she would probably like to be elsewhere, and no doubt she goes there mentally.

[RobinA]

57. Yeah

She dissociates. This President thing was not part of the deal and it isn’t her thing. I believe she is truly is truly miserable. She doesn’t even try. She, unlike him, knows they’re in over their heads.

[GoCubsGo]

64. Dissociates...yes, exactly.

That's the word I couldn't think of. Thank you.

[elocs]

28. Your ability to feel pity without regard to degree

is greater than most who post here. Because someone is not as bad off as somebody else does not mean they are undeserving of pity.
Whatever her marriage started out to be, she seems trapped now.

[keithbvadu2]

29. Smile on cue. Notice that he quit smiling before she did.

Smile on cue.
Notice that he quit smiling before she did.

[secondwind]

55. Looks like he said something horrible and mean to her.

[CottonBear]

61. He was looking at Ivanka, who is behind and to right of Melania.

He looked straight past his wife.

[keithbvadu2]

67. Trump family relations

[DangerousRhythm]

66. I wonder if we'll ever find out what he said here.

It’d have to come from her or Ivanka, probably, but I’ve always been curious because damn does it seem spiteful and mean.

[jberryhill]

31. Botox - no facial expressions

[guillaumeb]

34. Can Botox be injected into the brain to freeze that as well?

That would explain much.

[jberryhill]

38. If there's one in there, sure

Be Best.

[area51]

32. Please don't feel sorry

for someone who wears a jacket that says "I really don't care, do U?"

[lunatica]

35. She also wore it to see small children in dog cages.

We must never forget that.

[guillaumeb]

33. She freely married Trump.

And the few public statements that she makes show, in my view, that she is just as unfeeling and ignorant as Trump himself.

[bearsfootball516]

36. What a bizarre suggestion

[NBachers]

39. The toxins of her loathsome existence grow within her, poisoning her spirit and manifesting in the

polluted fog of her waxy rictus pallor. She is truly semi-cadaverlike.

American Horror Story

[ChicagoRonin]

40. I will paraphrase one of the recent comments about detained migrant children

She can leave any time

[Skittles]

43. she makes me sick

there is absolutely nothing of substance there, nothing

[dixiegrrrrl]

44. "Women who marry for money have to work for it, every day"

Dr. Phil...one of the valid truisms he has uttered.

[Blue Owl]

45. Not caring is a symptom...

[jalan48]

46. Could be, she's only a prop anyway.

[NoMoreRepugs]

47. She, like the Orange Menace, is an abomination.

[smirkymonkey]

48. She is just as loathsome as her evil husband.

I don't have an ounce of pity for her.

[Bettie]

49. She's just as vile as the orange pustule she married

I have no pity for her. None.

She is a birther, she is an enabler of his terrible behavior, and finally, she's probably his handler anyway.

[Claritie Pixie]

50. I'd be popping bars like crazy if I was married to him, wouldn't you?

[mr_lebowski]

53. I don't have to be nearly that close to him to wish I had bars to pop, tell ya that much

[Claritie Pixie]

56. Ha I hear ya!

[saidsimplesimon]

51. I was wondering if

she had taken a "vacation" in her region of origin. (Hmm, the photo ops of foreign relatives must not enhance the repub election machine efforts.) Most likely, she is sitting on a yacht, waving in a bikini, sipping vodka with Vlad.

[58Sunliner]

54. I imagine he threatens her on a regular basis. He threatens everybody else.

Except his daughter perhaps, and Putin. I don't have a lot of sympathy though as it must have been obvious he was a giant creep with creeeepy friends.

[dreamland]

58. Don't pity her, she's self medicated

I wouldn't be surprised if she stockpiled on Xanax. And restocks every time she takes a trip away from the WH.

[Hekate]

59. Botoxed to the max. I lost all sympathy for FLOTUS Marie Antoinette when she wore that jacket....

...to see kids in cages: "I Don't Really Care. Do U?"

ETA: Right up to that point, I maintained an elaborate rationale for why she was more to be pitied than censured. I defended her poor self and wondered if the prenup would leave her and Barron penniless. But no more. Whatever pain she feels doesn't cause her to extend compassion to anyone else, even little children in cages.

[Vinca]

62. She's musing about whether Don's check for her appearance at the event will bounce.

[NCjack]

65. Maybe she is living in a low IQ fog. nt

[dawg day]

68. I think she's paid-

I think she has demanded a big sum to make appearances with Trump. She's a younger wife, with one child who is one of five children (that we know of) of his, and she could get dumped-- no doubt there's a pre-nup- or get stuck with him in his flaming dementia. Her son could be bequeathed very little and be stuck with his father's discredited name.

I think she's banking millions just in case, spiriting it away, maybe putting it in her parents' or Barron's bank account, knowing that in 2020 she might lose her chance to grift more. There's steel in the lady's white teeth, and she's got that sunk into his arm. "Pay me, or I'll tell the world what a loser you are!"

I don't admire her or pity her. But I do like to think of her haranguing him and insulting him and forcing him to pay her.

[CTyankee]

70. If this is true, it'll have to be a doozy to compare with what has already been revealed about him.

My advice: go to the south of France and hobnob with the rich and famous there. Just isolate yourself. Nobody here likes you or wants you around. Your husband is a cheat and possibly an impeached and (albeit it a slim hope) convicted President, forever shamed and hated by everyone who is decent. Get outta here. If we never see you again, it will be too soon.

[Paladin]

69. To hell with her and the rest of that crime family. (nt)

[Aristus]

71. Her expressionlessness probably stems from the same source as Laura Bush's stoned Xanax grin.

These women, utterly without character or integrity, have volunteered to carry water for an organization only slightly less misogynistic than Saudi Arabia's 'Religion Police'. I have no pity for them. They signed up for that nasty job.

[Takket]

72. no.... she really is just an awful person who is enjoying all of this....

she deserves no pity.

[smirkymonkey]

73. I think it's just the fog of stupidity.

If she isn't lying around her tacky palace reading fashion magazines, she has no clue what is going on. Most of the time, she is completely out of her element.

[lame54]

74. I can - no excuses for her
